Turbo F22 Update!!

[Turbo&Auto]

Here's the update.

I mounted the manifold to the head and went to install the turbo. NO GOOD! The turbo was hitting a mount point for the front motor mount. Since I was making a solid front mount anyway, I cut it away! Everything fits great now and looks like it's meant to be there

I plan on having this thing all wrapped up in a week or 2 tops.

I bought a Magnaflow mid muffler and angle cut tip, decided to do a side-exit exhaust. Don't have any real performance reasons, just nice, short and simple.

Here's the part I cut away

Here's the manifold mounted to the motor, I'll get a pic tonight with the turbo and downpipe all bolted up:

I'm so close now!! I got almost all the piping done, and almost all the parts mounted. I think this car should be done on my part by the weekend. Just need a solid mount for the front, exhaust made and THATS IT!

no insult intended, but why didnt you rotate the turbine housing down...seems like it woulda given you an easier install.

The Wastegate actuator would've given me more serious issues then. I had to grind away a bunch of the mount for the front motor mount just to get it to fit like that. The piping was pretty easy actually. I just bought another 45 for the air inlet to try and tuck it back toward the tranny a lil more. I'll post pics when I install that and the new aluminum rad.

Sidemount intercooler? Or dual inlet/exit intercooler?

Same side in/out.

Doing it this way kept the piping nice & short.

yeah, now that i see were the actuator is, i kinda understand why you did it.
